2002 Acura TL Type S review from North America
"Great car for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No major issues with the car after 90,000. I have had to replace 2 front engine mounts, but that's it; no other issues. Cost of repairs can get high, but that can be tempered a bit by buying parts from a Honda dealership or online.
General comments?
I love my TL because it's been a very reliable car, easy to service, great ride and good gas mileage. I have a hard time believing those whom say they have replaced the transmission 3 times in less than 50K miles; I don't understand. I'm still on my original transmission after 90K miles and still have no issues. Car is quick, smooth and handles fantastic.
